Abstract: A therapeutic table having a stationary support and a top mounted to the support for reciprocation longitudinally between limit positions cooperates with traction apparatus mounted to the support for periodically applying traction to a patient lying on the table. The table is reciprocated by a motor which is powered through a timer switch capable of being preset to various time intervals. In one embodiment, a control circuit having a selector switch and a pair of limit switches cooperates with the timer to arrest motion of the table at one or the other of its limit positions at the completion of a time period so that the patient is not under traction at the completion of a period of treatment. In another embodiment, a pair of limit switches are connnected to auxiliary timers which operate to arrest motion of the top for relatively short periods of time within a longer period as determined by a master timer so that the patient undergoes sustained traction and/or relaxation for short time intervals within the overall period of treatment. The table top has an elongated aperture through which a series of rollers protrude for engaging the patient to effect a therapeutic action as the table reciprocates. The therapeutic action is augmented by a heating element which is mounted below the rollers for applying heat through the aperture and to the patient. In addition, there is provided means to vibrate the top as it reciprocates. An elongated filler block is provided for insertion in the aperture to convert the top into a manipulating surface. A pair of brackets are mounted on opposite sides of the support, and each bracket has a series of sockets for receiving leg roller stanchions so that the position of the leg rollers may be adjusted longitudinally of the table.
